It is widely acknowledged that fault rock capillary properties are important in controlling the distribution of hydrocarbons in sedimentary basins, and methods exist for predicting the capillary seal capacity of prospect ...

A number of methods have been proposed over the
last decade for encoding information using deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA), giving rise to the emerging area of DNA data embedding.
Since a DNA sequence is conceptually ...

The putative antidepressant captodiamine is a 5-HT2c receptor antagonist and agonist at sigma-1 and D3 dopamine receptors, exerts an anti-immobility action in the forced swim paradigm, and enhances dopamine turnover in the ...

A series of C-doped, W-doped, and C,Wcodoped TiO2 samples have been prepared using modified sol-gel techniques. Reproducible inexpensive C-doping arises from the presence of melamine borate in a sol-gel mixture, whereas ...

With the rise of user-generated content (blogs, wikis, ratings, reviews, opinions etc.) the web is evolving from a repository of content into a repository of experiences, and as it evolves there are many opportunities to ...

Web search is the main way for millions of users to access information every day, but we continue to struggle when it comes to finding the right information at the right time. In this paper we build on recent work to ...

Although collaborative searching is not supported by mainstream search engines, recent research has high- lighted the inherently collaborative nature of many web search tasks. In this paper, we describe HeyStaks ...

n this paper we survey recent results about Fischer decomposi-
tions of polynomials or entire functions and their applications to holomorphic
partial di erential equations. We discuss Cauchy and Goursat problems for ...

In today’s society there is a vast and in many cases not fully appreciated dependence on electrical power for everyday life. Furthermore, with growing energy and environmental concerns arising due to fossil fuel depletion ...

With growing energy and environmental concerns due to fossil fuel depletion and global warming there is an increasing attention being attracted by alternative and/or renewable sources of power such as biomass, hydropower, ...

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map database of the world. This paper presents an analysis of the evolution of OSM street network representations. Three urban areas in Ireland were ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of cultivating the biotechnologically important bacterium Streptomyces griseus in single-species and mixed- species biofilms using a Tubular Biofilm Reactor ...

Haloarchaeal alcohol dehydrogenases are of increasing interest as biocatalysts in the field of white biotechnology. In this study, the gene adh12 from the extreme halophile Haloarcula marismortui (HmADH12), encoding a 384 ...

The collision of two laser generated plasma plumes can result, under appropriate conditions, in the formation of ‘stagnation layer’. The processes underlying this phenomenon are complex and time dependent. The majority of ...

Oxidative addition of donor-functionalised 4-iodoimidazolium salts to palladium(0) provides a selective route for the preparation of chelating abnormal N-heterocylic carbene complexes and enables the introduction of a ...

The development of novel chiral amphiphilic self-assembled complexes 13Eu and 23Eu by using Europium(III) directed synthesis is described. These systems form stable Langmuir films at an air-water interface, which were ...

Emerging healthcare applications can benefit
enormously from recent advances in pervasive technology and computing. This paper introduces the CLARITY Modular Ambient Health and Wellness Measurement Platform, which is a ...

Many online stores encourage their users to submit product/service reviews in order to guide future purchasing decisions. These reviews are often listed alongside product recommendations but, to date, limited attention has ...
